Five airshows, multiple transits, training sorties and many pleasure flights completed over the past week or so in sometimes challenging weather. It’s been a busy but brilliant time for the @FlightIrish team of volunteer pilots, engineers and ground crew. 📸 Przemek Zachwieja

A real privilege to take delivery of this FR172H Reims Rocket from @IrishAirCorps for @FlightIrish These aircraft worked hard serving the state for decades, and the fact that it still flies like new is testament to the great work poured into it at Baldonnel over the years. 🇮🇪

Today is the 75th anniversary of the first flight of the MiG-15, and to celebrate here’s a picture of me looking smug just before I got to fly the SB Lim-2 variant. #wingfriday #avgeek

Ever played Asteroids? Flooring the iX M60 is the modern equivalent of pressing the hyperspace button. Sledgehammer power delivery.#bmwix #ev #ElectricVehicles

Quick drive in a prototype BMW iX1 BEV this morning. First impressions are really good. Lovely to drive, with some great tech. #cars #bmw #ev #electriccars

I posted an in-cockpit video of this at the time, but here’s a #wingfriday flashback video from the ground of my MiG-15 (SB Lim2) flight last year. Reasonably low. #avgeek #aviation #pilotsoftwitter

Thirsty work. Still, the lovely carbon fibre is a nice distraction from the predicted full-tank range.

Getting ready for the final ⁦@FlightIrish⁩ event of the season. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the #ploughing later!

Scooting around the Mournes at 160 knots on #wingfriday This walking path along Bloody Bridge River to the south of Slieve Donard looks like a heart-stopper! #AvGeek #NorthernIreland

Lovely warm welcome for @FlightIrish from @IrishAirCorps at Baldonnel for Veterans Day at the start of the @BrayAirShow weekend. 🇮🇪💪🏻

Display evaluation day in four pristine aircraft with a combined age of 280+ years. Hundreds of volunteer hours were spent getting them returned to service for the 2022 display season. When you see @FlightIrish at @BrayAirShow on July 24, make sure to give us a big wave! #AvGeek

After three years of #EV driving, I’ll be glad to see the back of this thing in a few weeks. What should be a 2:10 trip to Cork took 3:30 with charging stops. But what about the cheap running costs? ~1c cheaper per km than the diesel car I’d usually use… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Testing three BMW M cars in Bavaria today for @SundayWorldCars This X4M Competition is an absolute riot. Next up is the M240i 😈 #BMWGROUP #TESTDAYS #BMW #THEX4 #X4 #BMWM #X4

Sitting back and enjoying a recent #wingfriday sunset while I wait for this thing to run out of energy.
